Agreeing to Take a Disciple
It was precisely because of Du Bai's 'humanitarianism' that he inadvertently helped some weaker Soul Master obtain their own Soul Ring.
Yu Chenglong was one of the most fortunate Soul Master, who not only obtained his own Soul Ring but also the corresponding Soul Bone.
Yu Chenglong can be considered a chosen one!
Du Bai never expected that his unintentional act would lead to such a positive outcome!
"It turns out that I had done him a favor a long time ago!"
"Fate is such an unpredictable thing!"
"However, it wouldn't be bad to be Yu Chenglong's teacher!"
"Respecting teachers and valuing their teachings, taking on a disciple is certainly a good thing!"
Du Bai thought to himself, and was immediately moved with compassion.
At the same time, Du Bai also carefully examined Yu Chenglong's face and the Head Soul Bone.
The boy's face was resolute, and his wide-open eyes, made eerie by the poisonous skull of the Demon Tumor Tree, looked quite sincere.
After listening to what Yu Chenglong said, Zheng Banqiao, who was standing to the side, immediately looked at Yu Chenglong.
Zheng Banqiao noticed the unusual appearance of Yu Chenglong's eyes and head, which was obviously due to the Head Soul Bone of the Demon Tumor Tree.
"This kid actually possesses a Head Soul Bone, which looks quite precious!"
"This Soul Bone will allow Yu Chenglong to go further in the future. This kid is promising!"
"I didn't expect Cheng Long to be so meticulous; he was able to completely fool even me!"
"Not bad, not bad. This kid isn't too stupid; he won't be easily fooled!"
Zheng Banqiao thought to himself.
Zheng Banqiao was genuinely happy that Yu Chenglong possessed the precious Head Soul Bone of the Demon Tumor Tree.
Yu Chenglong's experiences reminded Zheng Banqiao of his past self.
Once upon a time, Boss Zheng Banqiao also felt inferior because his Martial Soul "Little Fat Pig" was ridiculed.
That period of time was incredibly agonizing for him!
Zheng Banqiao saw a reflection of himself in Yu Chenglong.
Moreover, this kid never gives up and is single-mindedly pursuing improvement, which Zheng Banqiao greatly admires. That's why he takes him along to make money and provide the resources needed for Yu Chenglong's daily cultivation.
"However, Cheng Long has now revealed that he possesses a skull."
"What if this Young Master Du covets his skull? Wouldn't Cheng Long's life be in danger!"
"This kid is still a bit careless!"
Zheng Banqiao thought to himself, feeling a little worried for Yu Chenglong.
However, Boss Zheng Banqiao thought again, what if Yu Chenglong really succeeded in becoming his apprentice? Then this kid would be set for life!
With his mind racing, Boss Zheng Banqiao watched quietly from the sidelines.
"Teacher, I'm sincere!"
"I swear by my Martial Soul that I will become your disciple!"
"I hope you won't look down on my Martial Soul or my talent!"
"I will definitely be more powerful than other Soul Master of my generation, and I will surpass them!"
Yu Chenglong spoke sincerely once again.
Despite his seemingly serious and sincere demeanor, Yu Chenglong is actually incredibly flustered inside.
He was afraid that Du Bai would look down on him, and that his heartfelt desire to repay the debt of gratitude was just wishful thinking!
Yu Chenglong's heart was actually trembling slightly.
Scenes of being ridiculed and looked down upon by his peers in the past surged through Yu Chenglong's mind.
He didn't want to lose!
Upon hearing this, Du Bai appeared to be deep in thought.
Du Bai had already agreed in his heart, but on the surface he still put on a profound and thoughtful appearance.
After all, agreeing too readily can easily lead to some subtle thoughts.
Du Bai fell silent, and Yu Chenglong and Boss Zheng Banqiao also fell silent.
Seeing this, the maids and guards in the distance dared not make any rash moves.
The entire space seemed to freeze, and time slowed down dramatically.
Yu Chenglong's heart pounded wildly as he anxiously awaited the result.
At this moment, every second felt incredibly long to Yu Chenglong and Boss Zheng Banqiao.
After a while, Du Bai chose a suitable time.
"Can!"
"I can take you as my apprentice!"
Du Bai spoke up at the opportune moment.
His incredibly captivating voice broke the silence in the space, resonating in the hearts of Yu Chenglong and Boss Zheng Banqiao.
Yu Chenglong's head buzzed. His powerful benefactor had actually agreed to let him become his student!
A flame called hope instantly spread across the mountains and fields, burning extremely brightly!
"Teacher!"
"Are you really willing to take me as your apprentice?!"
Yu Chenglong spoke excitedly, his eyes trembling and tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.
Yes, child!
"Swear an oath with your Martial Soul to become my disciple!"
Du Bai changed to a gentler tone and spoke.
Du Bai's voice was very gentle, which made Yu Chenglong feel as if he were bathed in a spring breeze!
"Good!!"
"Teacher Du!!"
Tears welled up in Yu Chenglong's eyes and slid down his cheeks, eventually forming teardrops that fell to the ground.
At this moment, Yu Chenglong could no longer hold back his tears!
However, his eyes remained unwavering, wide open and round!
"This child has had a tough time!"
Zheng Banqiao felt a pang of sympathy for Yu Chenglong.
Du Bai was also deeply moved.
Previously, Du Bai had Xue Qinghe investigate Yu Chenglong's family background and life experiences from childhood to adulthood, so that he could understand his suffering.
This is also an important reason why Du Bai was willing to accept Yu Chenglong as his disciple.
Next, Yu Chenglong began to unleash his Martial Soul, 'Nightmare'.
As Yu Chenglong released his Martial Soul, a brown glow appeared in front of him.
Immediately afterward, a chubby, fluffy, adorable pet resembling Soul Beast landed on the ground with a 'duang'.
Du Bai and Zheng Banqiao both couldn't help but look at the adorable pet.
This was the first time Du Bai had seen this strange-looking pet. It had the body of a pig, the face of a dog, short limbs, brown fur, and an adorable appearance!
This fluffy, chubby, and adorable pet is none other than Yu Chenglong's Martial Soul, 'Nightmare'.
Nightmare is a mutated Martial Soul that can live and be raised like a pet, and it is very intelligent.
At this moment, it blinked its big, round eyes, looking at everything around it with kindness and a blank expression.
"Little Dream, from now on he will be our teacher!"
"And one more thing, he is the powerful benefactor we have been searching for!"
Yu Chenglong spoke gently to 'Nightmare', introducing Du Bai.
Upon hearing this, 'Nightmare' looked at Du Bai with kind eyes, accepting everything.
Because Yu Chenglong and 'Nightmare' are related as master and Martial Soul, information is being rapidly transmitted and exchanged between their minds.
Soon, 'Nightmare' learned about everything that was happening in the outside world through its master Yu Chenglong.
Its round, chubby body immediately ran towards Du Bai and rubbed against Du Bai's leg in a friendly manner.
Good evening, everyone! Good afternoon! Good morning! Wishing you all happiness and success!
